Hello, I'm Steven Flanagan, an ageing Englishman likely to post about #comics, #DoctorWho, and other old TV and film, as well as any other trivial stuff that seems interesting, useful or amusing.
I draw a bit and do some image editing.
Drawing mashing up The Quatermass Experiment for its 70th anniversary and Sooty for his 75th. Fake advert for Sky Ray lollies featuring the actor and actress booked for the 1960s Doctor Who ad (only he appeared in the end product) and a Dalek. Short comic strip written and drawn for the Paper Jam Comics Collective anthology "You Need a Holiday ... and That" Mash up of Aladdin Sane and the first Doctor Who (David Bowie and William Hartnell shared a birthday).

The Roman Invasion of 1960 was the biggest shock until the Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 AD.
Extract from the Taking Pictures TV schedule for Thursday 9 October. At 6:30 is "Look at Life: Roman Invasion 1960"

I found the first episode of Film Club quite amusing, then saw this in the end credits and felt dismayed.
Screen capture of the following end titles: "VFX: Coffee and TV. "Titles: Momoco. "Front titles created by design teams with assistance of [abbreviation of inaccurate description of World-burning Large Language Model plagiarism software redacted]."

Does anyone draw a glowing robot sphincter accidentally?

A booklet reprinting RTD's columns for the 2006 series (because they think Tennant sells, I suppose), and a poster with pictures of the Target audiobook inlay cards.

I gather that it is also International Lesbian Day.
So if you are a World International Lesbian Octopus, I salute you!

Apparently, today is World Octopus Day.
So here's something for the great World Octopus.
Vive la pieuvre du monde!

I've never yet found any merchandise labelled, say, "37% Official," but I'll keep looking.

It seems to be my day for digging out cartoons I drew decades ago.
Cartoon of Vivien Leigh wearing the top half of a red Spectrum uniform and a big, crinolined skirt. Title lettering reads "Captain Scarlett O'Hara". At top right are wobbly cut-out letters, revealing the interior of the Mysteron city behind them, reading, "Frankly, Earthmen, we don't give a damn."

A cartoon I drew about 20-30 years ago.
Cartoon showing an impala standing on its hind legs. It has prominent canine teeth, and is wearing an evening dress jacket and waistcoat and an opera cloak. Behind is a drawing in the style of the famous woodcut of Vlad dining among his impaled victims, except that Vlad is an impala and his victims are lions. Black letter type at the top reads, "Vlad the Impala."

Reported, so far as I can tell, only by Radio Times and Wales Online. Not on the BBC News website, not even in The Guardian, the only newspaper that might have been sympathetic.
I hope I've missed something.

They should have got Dave Gibbons to draw some backgrounds, then overlaid the cast. Like the "Jane" serial from the previous year.

Many forget that this episode featured the first appearance of the Judoon, as well as a cartoon character coming to life, in anticipation of Mr Ring-a-Ding.
A rhino-headed doorman watches as young people enter a nightclub. A 3D animated boy jumps down from a billboard to join Billie Piper and her gang.
